Autumn: The best time for a Garden Clean-up!

Autumn: The best time for a Garden Clean-up!

Being autumn, many gardeners are gearing up for a big garden clean-up. While spring may be the season for a “spring clean”, when it comes to a garden clean-up, autumn is definitely the month to do so. And many expert gardeners and landscaping specialists will agree.

Why so, you ask? It’s because if you clean-up your garden ahead of winter, you’ll have less to deal with come spring. You’ll give your plants a better chance of growing when spring arrives. Moreover, throughout summer, your garden has probably overgrown. Now’s your best chance to give your unsightly garden a makeover.

Continue reading this post as I list some handy tips on how to clean up your garden this autumn. These tips come from expert gardeners, so you’ll do yourself a big favour by following them. And, you can thank me by hiring one of our green waste bins in Brisbane to dispose of your garden waste.

1. Remove late blight

If you planted potatoes or tomatoes last season, then chances are that they would have developed late blight or other fungi by autumn. Late blight is nothing but a destructive fungus that rots potato and tomato plants. If you let late blight linger, it will reproduce and damage your next batch of crops.

To get rid of late blight, remove all plant parts, including undug potatoes, tomato pieces and any leafy material. You can either choose to compost the debris or dispose of them using green waste bins in Brisbane. However, I’ll advise you to go with the latter unless you’ve handled composting before.

2. Pull out weeds

Over the summer, weeds will inevitably have made their way into your garden. If you don’t get rid of them now, they will flower and spread seeds all over your garden in winter. And you really don’t want to deal with a fresh batch of weeds next spring.

This is your last chance to weed your garden. Grab your mulchers and chop all your weeds away. To dispose of your weeds, you can make use of green waste bins in Brisbane.

3. Prune away

As I mentioned earlier, your trees and plants will probably have overgrown during summer. Grab your pruning shears and prune branches, peonies, roses and other overgrown plants. Pruning during autumn will make your plants blossom once spring comes.

As you prune away, you’ll gather a lot of foliage and debris. Don’t leave these lying around. You can easily dispose of them with the help of green waste bins in Brisbane.

4. Remember to hire a garden skip before you start pruning
